Abstract
Electrical contacts are fixed in a connector by ultrasonic melting of a portion of the connector body. The contacts are positioned in appropriate apertures having one part formed with a boss which defines a well. A widened section of the contact fits into the well and the boss is melted and forced into the well, thus fixing the contact in position.
